Photographing Flying GulIs.

An example of the speed with which
pictures are now being produced is af-
forded by photograph of number of
fly ing gulls taken at Southport by a To-
cal photographer. Mr.. Mallin. OF
course, animals in far more rapid move
ment have been photographed by Mr..
Maybridge in America and NJ Marcy
in France. but these are produced by
special apparatus, and rarely give much
more than silhouette of the object
photographed. The picture of the gulls
was taken under ordinary conditions
and with ordinary apparatus; but the
lens must have been good one. and a
very rapid shutter must have been en-
ployed. The plate also Zone of those
named the Derby plates. from formula
invented by Captain Abney,) must have
been of specially high sensitiyeness.
The various attitudes of the birds are
curious. Most of them have the wings
spread in the orthodox manner, but
some of them are caught in that curious
position with the wings hanging down,
which, from the shortness of the time
during which it is maintained. the eve
does not appear to catch. About sixty
birds are shown quite sharply and dis
| tinctly.-Losadon Times.

a Remarkable People.

A curious anthropological discovery
is announced from Spain by Prof..
Miguel Marazta. In the waller -
Rebas, at the end of the Eastern Pyre-
ness, there exists a somewhat hume
rous group of people. called Nanos. or
dwarfs. by the other inhabitants. They
are less than four feet tall. are quite
well built, with small hands and feet.
and are given an exaggerated appear
ance of robustness by broad hips and
shoulders. All have red hair; the face
is as broad as long. with high cheek
bones. strongly-dcyeloped jaws and
fiat nose The eyes are somewhat
oblique, like those of Tartars and Chi
nese. A few Struggling hairs take the
place of beard. The skin is pale and
fiabby. Men and women are So much
alike that the sex can only be told
from the clothing They are withoui
education, and, being ridiculed BY the
other inhabitants. live by themselves

liarities by intermarriage among them
